Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Drizzle the inside of each squash half with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet. (2 minutes)

03

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is easily pierced with a fork and the flesh is tender, approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Allow the squash to cool slightly for about 10 minutes, making it easier to handle. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Using a fork, shred the inside of the squash into spaghetti-like strands and transfer them to a bowl. (5 minutes)

06

Step
3 mins

Add the remaining olive oil, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the shredded squash. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated with the flavorful mixture. (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after tossing.
If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
To elevate the presentation, serve the spaghetti squash in the hollowed-out squash shells.
